Arrgh!! Ipod Mini launches ITunes but isn't recognized
Just about at my wit's end. After struggling for 10+ hours with first mini and finally finding it was defective, got replacement from store. After inital installation, computer would recognize IPod but ITunes didn't and screen stuck on do not disconnect. After resetting, reinstalling IPod and ITunes, updating to 9-23-05 versions, restoring IPod, etc. etc., it is finally at a point where when I plug it in it does launch Itunes, but is not recognized. Any thoughts about what to do next?
This is all on my laptop (Dell 600M with XP Pro SP2, fully updated). on my desktop, windows recognizes the IPod but neither Itunes or the IPod updater recognize it.
All suggestions appreciated.

This is a very common problem that people are having with minis/iTunes 5.X and indeed that i myself have. The only solution atm is to go to http://filehippo.com/download_itunes.html?184 and dll itunes 4.9, then uninstalling iTunes from the Add/Remove Programs in the Control Panel and then obv installing 4.9... I'm going to keep looking out for future updates of iTunes where this prob is resolved but atm the only solution is to regress =(....iTunes 4.9 and iTunes 5.0 are not extremely differenty anyway, honest.
Hope this helps (and please reply if it does)

IPod asks to be restored in iTunes, but isn't recognized in iTunes...
My iPod classic 160GB isn't recognized by iTunes anymore. I started it in disk mode and reset it, but now the message appears that I need to restore my iPod in iTunes. But iTunes doesn't recognize it when I connect it to my laptop and on the display "do not disconnect" appears. Now what do I do? I'm quite desperate and hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance...I have noticed that this happened to user Colin Craig and nobody managed to answer him, is there anyone that can help??
for more detail, i only changed the name as it appeared in itunes in capital letters then when i looked in my pod it was empty! HELP MEEEEEEEEEEE!! -

My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties
My ipod works in itunes but does not appear in "my computer" after I changed the properties.
First off, I'm using Windows XP (and Mac SnowLeopard) Here's how it started. For some reason my ipod started showing up as a camera when I plugged it in. It works fine in itunes, though. But when I tried to access it from "my computer" it only
showed me the one and only picture I had on my ipod. I deleted that picture hoping it would no longer show up as a camera. When it still did I right-clicked on it in "my computer" and selected "properties". Under "autoplay" I
chose for it to 'not show up' or 'take no action' or some such deal when I plugged it in. I thought that would stop it from popping up the window that asks whether i want to 'open camera wizard' or 'open camera scanning' or 'open folder to view files' or 'take
no action' , etc. But now it won't show up in "my computer" at all. I also have a Mac with SnowLeopard. When I plugged my ipod into it my ipod doesn't show up in "finder" either! So basically my problem is not a mechanical one with hardware
or software; yht ipod still works fine in itunes. I just need to undo the change I made. I've searched all around my preferences, utilities, options, etc. It shows up on my "Device Manager" but not on "Disk Management".
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.Hi,
To show up in Windows Explorer, you can try placing the iPod into
disk mode.
Moreover, i recommend you to
restore ipod to factory settings.
If this issue still persists, locate to device manager, uninstall and reinstall USB Mass Storage Device driver.

My Gen 7 ipod is detected by itunes but not properly recognized
My gen 7 ipod is detected by itunes but not properly recognized. I have reloaded itunes and other trouble shooting, but no luck
Suggest you try the following two steps starting with the first one. If it doesn't correct the problem perform the second step.
Restart iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPhone. To turn iPhone back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPhone: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. -
iTunes keeps giving me the message that my iPod is currupted. I have restored the iPod and reloaded iTunes but keep getting the same message. What's weird is that my iPod will connect to another PC and that my PC will connect to my daughter's iTouch. Any ideas? My iPod was working with my PC for years and just started getting this error.
According to this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

After software update, I can see the songs on iPod nano in iTunes, but I cannot play/move the songs from iTunes.
Is the "software update" for iTunes 12? Or something you did to the iPod?

Restore ipod mini freezes itunes and doesn't restore
I can't manage any music on my ipod mini with itunes. So I decided to try the restore...Everything goes smoothly until I get to the progress bar where itunes is "restoring" my ipod. After an hour of waiting and the bar sitting at about a millimeter completed I close itunes. I've also updated, and reinstalled itunes many times. My music is still on my ipod and it still charges and works perfectly except when I want to manage my music. Please help :P
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My iPod touch isn't being recognized by iTunes but my computer recognized it.
It recognized before but isn't working now. I tried all the troubleshooting and nothing is helping. What can I do?
My iPod is an iPod touch 5th gen and I have the latest version of iTunes on my computer. Help me please!Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod appears in iTunes, but disappears from Desktop
Just recently, whenever I plug my 3G 20GB iPod into my dock connect via Firewire to my iMac, it launches iTunes as normal, appears on the Deskop, syncs with iTunes and then disappears from the Desktop.
Then if I eject my iPod from iTunes and leave it connected to my dock to charge, and later relaunch iTunes it freezes and takes a force quit and a log out to get things working again.
I tried resetting and resyncing the iPod last week and have also trashed the iTunes prefs, but nothing seems to have worked as yet.
Any ideas?
iMac G5 20" 2.1GHz iSight, 1.5GB RAM, 250GB HD Mac OS X (10.4.8) Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3GHz, 2.5GB RAM, 160GB HDThe first part of your description sounds normal when using Auto updating and having disk mode DIS-abled. Mine shows up in iTunes when connected, then I eject it from iTunes and it does not appear on my desk top.
Try going into the iPod setting in iTunes and enabling disk mode and see if that works any better. You will have to manually eject the iPod from the desk top though, before unplugging it.

IPod mini will charge, but not update songs
Just last week my ipod mini stopped updating songs. Before that it was working fine. When I plug it in, it charges but iTunes doesn't pop up and I can't update my songs into my iPod. Someone Help Me.
Hello, my ipod charges when I connect it to the computer, but it doesn't appear neither on ITunes or the computer itself. As soon as I put the USB in the port, a message in the right corner comes up saying that the USB peripheric isn't recognised..So obviously if ipod doesn't appear on Itunes, I can't put new songs on it.
I tried connecting it to other computers and it works.
What can I do??? Thanks
